TIE NEGROES DIDN'T COME TILL LATE,
BUT THEY GOT THERE ALL THE
SAME.
Bishop Lyman, OF North Carolina,
and his Brethren in Black.
GRaleioh Ne,ys and Observer

On inquiry we learn that the following are
about the facts connected with matter which
for some days has been "town talk" here in
Raleigh. Bishop Lyman invited the members
Of the Episcopal Convention then in session,
and his and their friends in the city. to visit
his house and have social reunion there and
upon his lawn under the shade of the beauti-
ful trees in his yard. The invitation was for
the reunion to be between the hours Of and
$50 p. NJ. Towards 8 O'clock there being ia
BILE OF refreshments In the yard, refreshments
began. to be offered to the guests who were
then nearly all standing about out Of doors.
This delayed the leaving Of the guests beyond
the hour mentioned In the invitation. There
were several negro ministers, members of the
convention, and two, perhaps three; Of these
were to have left. They were not expected.
Some Of the guests were already leaving, and
others LEFT perhaps earlier than they other
wise would have done. AS II was q social oc-
casion 1t does not need to be said that the ne
groes were out OF place, were not expected,
and that Bishop Lyman as well as his guests
considered their coming ut all as an unpected
intrusion, although they come late, about the
time the affair was to have closed.

THE FISH WAY BUSINESS.

TUXEDO PARK, N. Y . May 10, 1887.
Editor Press and Banner:
My attention has just been called to a COM
municailon OF Mr.. NJ. Erwin, In q recent issue
of your paper, in regard to my official action
in the matter of fishways, while Superintcnd-
ent of Fish and Fisheries OF South Carolina.
While his mistakes are of little consequence
to me now, In justice to the Hon. A. p Butler,
Commissioner, under whose instructions |
was acting, desire to state That when Mr. Er-
win wrote that I told him ne "must send to
Washington and buy the right OF the Mellon.
aid model and put that fshway In his dam,
he was mistaken and did pn injustice to both
the Commissioner and M self.
If he still has the letters wrote to him on
the subject he has in black and white what
considered was required Of him to comply
with the laws In regard to tishways. visited
him at his mill aud had with me model OF
the Mcdonald tishway. and told him would
furnish IL working model of 1t II he desired TO
adOpt IT, but stated most emphatically that
the law did not require any special pattern or
kind OF way, and all we could ask or require
of him WAS Il device or opening In his dam
that would let fish pass. visited every dam,
both below and above him on Saluda river,
and made the same statement to all owners
whose dam considered an obstruction.

Keep q Hair Brush.

ayes" said Jap Carroll, the well known bar
Der, yesterday, as he brushed Register man 8
hair, "you need not be afraid TO shave in a
strange shop where you do not have your own
cup and razor. There is less danger of catch
ing the BARRIERS itch than there is of cathing
some scalp disease In any barber shap. The
great trouble with people is that they always
have their own cup and razor. but they forget
to have their own hair brushes. Half of the
badness In the world is caused by the indis-
scriminate use of brushes in barber shops.
Badness is usually preceded by a scaling of
the head. This is the product OF a sort Of dis
ease When a barber brushes mans hair
whose scalp Is diseased and uses the same
brush OH q healthy scalp. what can you ex-
pect? tell you half of the badness IN the
world Is caught from hair brushes. That Is
why 80 few women are bald. They never go
to the barber Shops"

The Presby terIan congregation at this place
have determined to build their new church
on the manse lot-(the parsonage lot.) The
church committee have about concluded q
will be moved to the lot on which the church
recently stood, and an exchange Of lots will
then be effected. The manse or parsonage
will be moved on or near TO Mrs. Lythoe's
present lot, and the church will be built on
the corner of the lot now occupied by the
mansc. We believe the public are almost
unanimous in the opinions that this arrange
ment is most desirable In every way.
